Things have been crazy but wonderful. Who needs sleep? I'm running on adrenaline and lamb kisses. So, for those of you who are keeping track of this stuff, here is the current tally:

Six ewes have given birth to 8 live lambs--five boys and three girls. There are still 20 (or so) rapidly widening, pregnant ladies out there.

And for those of you who are tired of wool and are wondering where the food is on this food blog (and if lambing season is ever going to end), please believe me when I say that I had every intention of writing about a sweet new recipe yesterday, but babies always win out over biscotti (even if it is Toasted Almond & Chocolate Chip). Soon.

In the meantime, if all of this sweetness is giving anyone sugar cravings (besides me), I invite you to peruse the Farmgirl Fare archives and perhaps discover (or re-discover) a new favorite. All of the recipes are listed in the sidebar under 'Previous Posts.' Might I suggest Mexican Monkey Cake, Emergency Chocolate Cake, or a batch of Crazy Cookies?

As for me, it's back down to the barn. Lamb kisses are on the menu for dessert tonight.

Those wonderful brown lambie eyes looking back at me just melt my heart. I bet you are every bit as exhausted as those moms and babies. I hope you can bet some rest so you can take lots more farm pictures! I just can't get enough. Do you need big city pictures to make us even? Ah, forget it where you live is much more interesting and REAL.

Hi Vickie,Big city pictures would be great. Think bread bakeries. Ocean shots are always nice, too. This California girl has been landlocked for 12 years. : )

Hi Joe,And are you remembering why you left the farm, too? : )

Hi Jeff,LOLOLOL you crack me up. You KNOW Joe is going to come back and read that Max comment and you are going to be so busted trying to pawn off the pets again.

So, does he have any useful skills? (Max, I mean. Joe is a genius in the kitchen--we'll take him anytime.)

Hi Sunidesus,Just when I am afraid people are probably gagging over yet another cute lamb photo, I get positive reinforcement from you and Vickie. Thanks! They really are irresistible when they're so tiny. : )

Greetings from KS...I just found your site. It's lovely! My family and I are fairly new farm folk also and it is so encouraging to read real life examples such as yours. We have been on our farm for 3 years now and are looking forward to expansion soon to include more chickens, and a much larger garden. Look forward to reading more and seeing the wonderful pictures of your sweet sheep....lamb kisses, how wonderful!

I think you are really willing to give all your time to lambs and ewe's.I have to wake up in the middle of the night to feed the lambs I gave my mum for mothers day 06 but I always manage to get some sleep. You must be supergirl you scarcely sleep!

January 2013 update: I know word verification is a big pain, but it's the only way I can stop the ridiculous number of anonymous spam comments I get every day. I don't want to require commenters to be registered Blogger or Open ID users because I know many of you aren't. Thanks so much for your understanding!
